"The title of this contribution is a question with a double meaning: On the one hand it prefers to the method, on the other hand it prefers to the results of German unification. After a preview of recent evaluations we discuss comparisons of the Federal Republic and the GDR from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. Five assymetries between the two German states are delineated: size and population, economic sprength, migration, travel and mass-communication, mass-exit and mass protest. Next we resume our theses of a stabilizing transformation East German counter arguments and the most recent research results on living-conditions, political culture, convergences and divergences."
